Abstract
The introduction of osseointegrated implants in dentistry represents a turning point in dental practice. The concept of immediate loading has recently become popular due to less trauma, reduced treatment time, high patient acceptance and better function and esthetics. A careful case selection, proper treatment plan, meticulous surgery and proper design of prosthesis are essential for optimal outcomes when this approach is adopted.Â
